Campaign Group Writes to Health Minister Over Advisory Panel's Remit at Daisy Hill
Published
SOS Daisy Hill, a local campaign group in Newry, has written to the Health Minister about the remit of an advisory panel. The group is concerned about the scope of the panel's work and what it is able to consider.
Daisy Hill Hospital is an important health facility for people in Newry and the surrounding area, which is close to the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. For many years, local people have campaigned to protect services at the hospital. Because of this, decisions about its future are closely followed by residents, patients and staff.
The details of the letter and the exact concerns raised by the group were not fully available at the time of writing. It is not yet clear how the Minister will respond or whether the remit of the advisory panel will be changed. Further information is expected in the coming days.
For readers in Ireland, the issue shows how health services in border areas can affect communities on both sides of the border. Anyone who wants to follow the story can check local news sources for updates on the response from the Department of Health.
